What, Kimura from an island nation hiding from debt? His name sounds like some guy who ran away because he owes money.
There's also Jeon Ji-ham from South Korea, whose name differs from that of a certain famous actress by only one character, yet she seems like a knock-off.
Even more outrageous is the inclusion of Schwarzenegger from the United States—a name that's practically a parody of the Hollywood star. What left Lin Chen speechless was that the list even included the "M4" group, who starred in the awful film "Let's Go Watch the Thunderstorm"—a truly unbearable watch!
"What the hell is all this?!" Lin Chen couldn't help but complain. "By the way, who is this Director Si you just mentioned? Why does that name sound so strange?"
“Oh, it’s Spielberg’s egg!” Su Yanan replied in a serious tone.
Upon hearing this, Lin Chen's lips twitched slightly, and he muttered to himself, "This name is really creative." However, now that he's the boss, he really needs to change those old knock-off routes.
"Speaking of which, we're a big production after all. Wouldn't using these actors seem a bit beneath us?" Lin Chen said with some concern.
"Big production..." Su Yanan rolled her eyes speechlessly. How could a terrible script like "The School Beauty's Personal Bodyguard" be considered a big production? However, since the boss had spoken, she could only try her best to coordinate.
After some discussion, Lin Chen, as the boss, could easily change the actors. However, considering this was the first trial, he decided to work with Su Yanan and Director Si to finalize the cast for the time being.
Time flies, and once the cast was finalized, the start date for filming was quickly set. Don't let their seemingly amateurish appearance fool you; these actors were incredibly dedicated to their craft. Especially Director Si, who propelled the filming forward at breakneck speed, completing it six months ahead of schedule!
Based on the timeline, we should be able to start trial broadcasts in about a month. That's incredibly fast!
During this time, everything proceeded smoothly, and Lin Chen's creative work did not stop. He personally composed the opening theme, ending theme, and incidental music for the TV series, each piece embodying his expectations and dedication for the show.
The theme song was sung by Liu Tiantian herself; her voice is clear and beautiful, seemingly able to penetrate the heart. The ending theme song was a duet between Ding Jiaying and Liu Tiantian, their voices blending perfectly and adding much to the charm of the series.
As for the background music, Lin Chen specially invited Jiang Jiahan and Ning Jiaqi to sing it. Their voices were unique and added more color to the drama. Even when Yang Meixi and Lin Ruoyan found out, they insisted on singing a few lines, which eventually turned into a group duet, and the effect was surprisingly good!
The backup dancers in the music video were led by Cai Xiaokun. His solid dance skills added a lot of appeal to the video.
Soon, the name of "Tokyo Not Hot" entertainment company appeared frequently in major media outlets. At the same time, the company's marketing department seized the opportunity and reaped wave after wave of traffic.
They deliberately leaked some internal stills to the paparazzi and even fabricated some so-called "insider leaks" to make the show's popularity soar. At first, a few people inquired and paid slight attention, but later more and more people began to search for relevant information, and then suddenly more clues and revelations appeared.
Some related video clips have even appeared on foreign video websites, such as Kimura's kissing scene with Jun Ji-ham while he was hiding from debt collectors, a funny scene where Schwarzkopf was "turned gay" by the M4 group, a melodramatic scene where the protagonist Liu Tiantian was jealous of several men, and even some large-scale sports scenes, etc.
These video clips instantly heightened the audience's anticipation!
Online, fans are showing great enthusiasm, expressing their anticipation and love for the show.
"It's getting better and better the more I watch it! Why hasn't 'Tokyo Isn't Hot' been announced for release yet?" a fan asked eagerly.
"Exactly! They've only shown us the theme song and stills, but haven't actually released it yet. Isn't that just deliberately making people envious?" another fan chimed in.
"Do you think the pictures are just for reference and it's actually a terrible, awful show?" someone questioned.
"Pshaw! Just the fact that Tian Tian is the main character is enough reason for me to subscribe!" one fan firmly expressed their support.
“Exactly! For Tian Tian’s sake, I’m going to watch each episode 10 times!” another fan said, not to be outdone.
Finally, the official website of "Tokyo Not Hot" announced some exciting news: the premiere press conference will begin in a week! In order to spread this news more widely, Lin Chen and the company's marketing and public relations departments did their best to spread the news to every corner.
Lin Chen never expected that the foundation he had carefully laid in the early stages would stir up such a huge wave; the appeal of this press conference far exceeded his expectations.
The foreshadowing he laid was meticulously planned and its sheer number was astonishing. When Lin Chen announced the premiere, the media, like sharks smelling blood, flocked from all corners of the world without any special invitation, vying to secure a spot.
On the day of the press conference, the grand venue was packed to capacity, filled with the lively chatter of the attendees. Those who arrived late for various reasons could only stand regretfully outside the venue, anxiously waiting for a possible opportunity to enter.
As the start time of the press conference drew closer, the atmosphere at the scene became increasingly tense and enthusiastic.
Liu Tiantian, dressed in a gorgeous gown, resembled a fairy descended to earth, her appearance instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire audience. Her rendition of the theme song, "The School Beauty Lives in the Hard Drive," was like a refreshing breeze, caressing everyone's hearts.
Jiang Jiahan's personal presence added immeasurable brilliance to Liu Tiantian's performance. Her piano accompaniment was like heavenly music, blending perfectly with Liu Tiantian's singing, captivating the audience.
Furthermore, Cai Xiaokun's whirlwind dance brought the press conference to a climax. His powerful and graceful movements seemed to engulf the entire venue in his dance vortex. At that moment, the press conference transformed into a grand concert, allowing everyone to fully enjoy the revelry brought by music and dance!
Just then, Lin Chen stepped onto the stage. His youthful appearance caused a buzz of discussion among the media reporters present. Although some had seen photos of Lin Chen in some reports and knew that he was young and promising, they still couldn't help but marvel at his youth when they saw him in person.
In their eyes, even someone in their thirties was considered quite young, but Lin Chen? He was clearly much younger than they had imagined.
